Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire capable of suppressing spalling on the outer surface of the tire. Background technique
[0002] Pneumatic radial tires are generally manufactured by vulcanizing and molding a green tire by integrating an annular tread member including a belt and tread rubber with an annular tire main body including a carcass using a mold. into. During vulcanization molding, it is desirable that the raw tires come into contact with the molding surface of the mold simultaneously or sequentially from the radially inner side.
[0003] In practice, however, slow contact tends to occur in the region of the green tire that is closer in the tire radial direction than the tire maximum width position, especially in the vicinity of the relatively rigid bead portion. Therefore, air is enclosed between the outer surface of the bead portion and the molding surface of the mold (hereinafter, the air enclosed in this way may be referr...
